You're asking us whether what you saw in the video is possible? Wouldn't the fact that it was demonstrated in the video answer that question for you? What have you searched for and what do you not understand about the information you found?

Nothing in C#. All of what you need to learn is in the Win32 API. C# is just a programming language. What you need to learn is how the operating system works.

You already have a thread about this. Merging threads.
